These Cute Kitchen Accessories Are So Good You’ll Want To Keep Them On The Countertops

22nd May 2023 | By Astrid Carter

From bread bins to butter dishes, pastel-hued pans to pretty baking picks, these cute kitchen accessories are just too good to squirrel away.

If you’re a fan of minimalist, clear kitchen countertops, look away now. We’ve searched the Internet for the most whimsical, kitsch and cute kitchen accessories we could find. These quirky picks are sure to bring some joy to your morning breakfast situation or some fun to cooking another midweek meal.

There are plenty of brands that bring some character to the most mundane of kitchen accessories. Brit designer, Matilda Goad, has managed to make even a toast rack cool, with her curiously shaped scarlet red design. Whilst Minnie Mae Scott’s shell-shaped spoon rest will avoid those inevitable spag bol splatters on your countertops and add some charm to the room.

Indie brand, QÄSA QÄSA, available at our favourite interiors emporium, Glassette (their selection is second to none have partnered with a wonderful organisation in Malawi that nurtures local artisanal talent to produce an array of eye-catching and unique designs. One result is these statement storage jars to house the mayhem that is the spice cupboard.  These are made from empty wine bottles from local restaurants, cut down to size and hand carved with exquisite mahogany wood lids to fit. Gorgeous.

On the high street, you can’t go wrong with a bit of Oliver Bonas – their blue Bete ceramic oil bottle is making glugging rich olive oil over salads all the more fancy, whilst their selection of enamel serving utensils come in an array of pretty colours,, almost too pretty to keep hidden away in the second drawer down.

Matilda Goad is the queen of taking something mundane and giving it a powerful pop of personality. We love her tartan-style butter dishes and this retro-inspired bread bin that sits pride of place on her countertop.

This sweet Bistro-style mon chéri ceramic punnet will sit pretty alongside your fruit bowl. Fill with cherries (naturally) or whichever seasonal fruit you have in.

Our Place’s modern heroes come in a rainbow of pastel colours and are the only kitchen pans we want cluttering up our hob.

They pack a punch in practicality too with the most non-stick surface we’ve ever used and a multitude of uses – the two best-sellers, the Perfect Pot and the Spice Pan can be used to replace a 16-piece pan set. Genius.

Our Place’s modern kitchen heroes even make frying an egg a moment of domestic joy.
